Abstract

A method employs a database table (501, 601) that contains progressive prize pool status data (507, 607) for each progressive game that may be available in a given gaming system (100). Additional database tables (502, 503, 602, 603) store definitions for both contributions to the various progressive prize pools and awards to be made from the various progressive prize pools. A given game play request in the gaming system (100) is identified with a particular contribution definition (510, 610) from the applicable database table in order to properly update the applicable progressive prize pool in view of the game play request and the wager associated with that game play request. Also, a given result in a game offered through the gaming system ( 100) is identified with a particular award definition (517, 617) in order to identify when a progressive prize is to be awarded and to properly award the applicable progressive prize and update the progressive prize pool.
